BTR Complete Package

All You Need to Know About BTR Complete Package by Dr. Zainab Vora and Dr. Apurv Mehra

Hi friends, this is Dr. Apurv Mehra. Hi everybody, I am Dr. Zainab Vora. And we are going to talk about a very very special program which is purely brainchild of the Dr. Zainab Vora and you know I have saved her name as Zainab the Great.

She has thought of something special for our students. Last year, she thought of a place where students can come and stay. She dreamt of it.

And trust me, it was only Zainab who could have pulled it. Now students from all over the country are coming, spending their time in Greater Noida, learning at the center and she is taking care of them. So let’s listen to a special program which is starting in February till June, right, at the Vidya Jeevan, Greater Noida.

Thank you, sir. S,o sir, the last two boot camps have been very very fulfilling, you know, for me as a teacher, I have also learnt a lot from the feedback that I have received from the students and it’s been a very enriching experience and the students have enjoyed a lot. I have enjoyed equally if not more with them.

So basically the idea of coming up with a test in the discussion program now was that now closer to the exam, I don’t want to promote passive learning where they are only, you know, listening to lectures or they are listening to me teach them. Now it’s the time to get active with your learning. Now is the time to consolidate because you will never feel like doing that.

That is easy. You know, just sit, you come and teach me. That’s what a lot of students also wanted.

But I want to do what is right for them at this point. It’s to consolidate, revise and self-study. This is what is very important.

What you need from our side is a structure to do that, a structure and infrastructure to do that. So that is what we are trying to provide with this program is to give you a schedule of tests which you will appear for in computer-based live exam simulation mode. So that gives you practice again and again.

So by the time you actually face the real NEET exam and the real INI CET exam, you would have given so many of these tests, each of which are 200 MCQs, you would have stared at the screen for the exact amount of time that you’re going to do on the exam hall that that day will feel no different. That is the aim. That day should feel as good as giving a Vidya Jeevan test.

So that is what is the aim of doing this test and discussion that you have been given a schedule. You have to prepare those two subjects by the time the test comes and you appear for the test, you get closure. Because if you are at your home, you know, there is no endpoint.

You will never feel that, okay, now my subject is over, now my surgery is over, I can go to the next subject. You will keep on doing that over and over from 10,000 different things. So this gives you an endpoint.

This is your checklist of what have to cover, this is it. Now you start with the next one, you know, so that is what is the aim. Now when we talk about this, what are the other things which are included? So when we discuss the test discussion, secondly, you will have the complete Vidya Jeevan facility at Greater Noida.

So you have the study facility with a cubicle and the place remains open from 7 am till 9 pm and you get a computer. So the cubicle also has a computer on which, you know, you will also be appearing for the test. Why have you agreed to give them the computer, sir? There are three, or four things which I want to add here.

What is my understanding is, that passive learning is what Zainab has been doing in the boot camp throughout where the BTR or a teacher is teaching you.

Active is your input or your own effort so that you summarize what you understand, you try to take a grasp of it and then finally, as we talk to students throughout the teaching in Cerebellum or in BTR and the boot camp specifically right today, right now, the students are saying when I attempt a test at my home, questions are okay, but the moment I am writing it even the cubicles here, it appears that the same question is foreign to me, it’s not the same language. Now here comes the point of the practice pitch and the main pitch.

So we are providing the cubicle so that one thing is they learn to sit in that environment. Many times it happens that we go and write an exam and for the first time we sit for four hours together and we are not having a habit of it. So develop a habit in that area.

Second, they must get very comfortable in attempting the papers on the desktop because that’s what they are going to do finally. There is no point in giving a half effort because half effort according to me is zero effort. It has to be a full effort and then there will be limited access to the internet for the safety of both of them and the centre for them to have some doubt-solving queries and approach Google which will a limited access.

So this is a special thing. It’s not something which I am permitting. At Vidya Jeeven every decision is taken by Ravi Sharma, Dr Ravi Sharma and my uncle Mr. Ritesh Kapoor.

Me and Zainab just put requests to them. Dr. Zainab informed us that we had to do this and Dr. Ravi gave permission Ravi’s thought was that this is what should be there. I just got a call and he said Sir I want to do this When he says that there is no looking back because this is what is in the interest of the student and if something is in the interest of the student it is something which has to be correct and has to be done.

So I feel Zainab is going to give them a simulation. This is what I really feel and that is the most important thing today. Just like the pilots before they take the flights they are given simulations.

So this is what Dr. Zainab and Dr. Ravi are building up at this place for them to have a simulation in the cubicles. If I can quote Dr. Ravi I think you know once he said that I want to build a world class facility where you know every medical student wants to come here and you know enjoy the process of learning. So that is what we are trying to create for you to find the joy in learning and to add to what you said you know by giving you the cubicles we are desensitizing.

A lot of times I have heard from students that they start feeling anxiety, and palpitations as soon as they enter. Now you have prepared in that environment that it’s going to desensitize you and that day is going to feel no different you know. So that is the intent from our end.

Apart from that you know we are there on every test day you know with the discussion it’s not just going to be a discussion of the MCQs we are going to discuss those topics. So the tests are going to be 200 MCQs and I am going to make sure that you know every question is targeting an important topic which should be a previous year’s topic or a potential topic and we can discuss that at length. So basically when we discuss those 200 questions and the discussion would be a long discussion around 6 to 7 hours we are trying to summarize those subjects the most important essence of it.

So that should act as a closure of different subjects and whatever doubts we have whatever are the topics you know which need to be supplemented we can do it on that day. So that is what would be there. Apart from that you would be having regular sessions.

My sir Ravi would be coming to visit you and you know guide you on a personal level wherever you are struggling. A lot of things require personal interaction and that’s what is our aim with boot camp you know and that’s what we carry forward is to make sure that everything is taken care of your studies should be your priority everything else if we can help you sort it out in your head if not more we would be very happy to do that. So Zainab I remember when I was preparing you know my seniors used to say if you study in a hostel right you study for more number of hours but the quality is less because you have to handle a lot of things when you study at home you study for less number of hours but your quality is better.

At Vidya Jeevan with the support of the entire staff here and the Cerebellum team, we are making sure that you study for more hours with better quality so that is what Ravi means to say. You know by very simple thought he said sir we are in medical college and we used to sometimes struggle for food so look at the way he is taking care of what food items are being provided these are the small things you know with at Vidya Jeevan, you come early morning and you are among the first in the student you will get a fruit and if you stay till the end you take away a fruit now that’s that happens every day here because our parents also do use to do the same thing eat fruits so this is what is extremely important.

Then what I see here is it’s like a small garden and you know Ravi and everybody around here is along with the entire team of Vidya Jeevan Cerebellum, Mama ji, Zainab herself you know everybody is wearing it like a gardener and they say that if the gardener has a good intention then the garden will be good and look at what I see now is this was a barren land around one year back and when we see it is blossoming with flowers and our students are sitting in the gardens and studying so we have different areas you know if you walk out in the outer side in the garden people are sitting on the benches on the ground they are sitting you come inside in the reception area people are interacting and talking one of the auditoriums so on auditorium they are quiet zone silent zone they are studying in the main auditorium where the class is in the morning hour they are studying right and then these cubicles this is going to be an intense area where you can practice.

I believe that one thing is that you make sure is a routine test they give on this desktop and obviously, many of our students are Cerebellum students so they will be getting midnight midday PYQs or the Late night PYQs so when they get these PYQs they can keep on solving these and that’s going to keep them glued to it so this is what I believe is key the environment being world-class is something which is going to take you better because till the time you do not grow in the proper environment, you don’t grow plus you know you see everybody who’s singularly preparing for what you are preparing so that will drive you you know when you are seeing everybody is in the same boat everybody has the same fear when I look at and I talk to students here they are all at the same level you know everybody is scared of the same thing everybody is confident of the same thing.

so you know we think that they are mature grown-up doctors by then but when I talk to them it feels like they are kids you know they are at this very critical juncture and they are all very very nervous about this one exam so at times you know we need to take care of them as kids and you know that is something that we are here for and it is something that will motivate you also seeing people study all around you at home when you’re doing you get into your own zone and you don’t really know what’s going on around you here you get a very strong reality check daily.

I think that is one of the biggest factors you know why boot camp has clicked with so many students so just to go ahead as you were talking about it has become an emotion it is becoming an emotion for most of us yeah and we are very happy that not only us we see that the students are taking care of the students now they are rising for each other there are small things like they keep on happening in a family and it’s for all for good you know whenever anybody is falling there’s somebody to support and that’s the beauty of Vidya Jeevan which I see here and that’s what we all dreamt of and just to add on to you know accountability and how daily you know we want you to show up to the centre and study because in the beginning. 

I see everybody is very excited and raring to go and that sort of keeps going down when you’re studying at home so just to push you to daily show up and sit in your cubicle we are gonna have a daily custom module so this is only for students who are complete package students so whoever is coming to Vidya Jeevan for the complete package program daily I will be giving you 30 mcq custom module of the subject for example if our first test is surgery and ortho on 21st of feb before that daily you will be getting a mixed module of these two subjects so that should motivate you that okay and the timing that I’ve kept is 2 to 5 pm because that is the time when we tend to you know our energy tends to dip so that’s when you have that 3 hour window that you just finish the 30 mcq 30 minutes it’s gonna take and very quickly you just review the answers and go study you know so that is your midday accountability check that you have to do that all right I am on track today I showed up that’s your incentive you know that you have to you know look out for apart from that in the complete package we are also including the 4 day offline program from 14th to 17th April which is going to be a revision program and there is a 4 day GT program before NEET.

I think is going to be a really great practice for students you get 4 back to back full-length GTs at the offline testing centre from 30th May to 2nd of June and that would be followed by discussion on the same day in the evening so that both of these programs are a part of the complete package. So apart from that you know so this is the testing discussion schedule so this is what I would want you to do for example if we have a test on the 21st of Feb which is two subjects what should be your checklist what should I complete to get closure of these two subjects if I have these two on 28th you will see that more or less there are 4 to 5 if not more gap between each and every test so this is the schedule that you have to look out for and what all should you do so this is the recommendation from my end you finish BTR 2.0 this is something which is your core crux so surgery ortho BTR 2.0 is what you want to do PYQs INI CET NEET and FMG.

I would recommend you to do as many as possible if you have done recent ones go till 2017 most of the apps Cerebellum also have all of the questions since 2017 so do all of those as many PYQs as you can it’s only better you know so recent minimum 3 years I would recommend and FMG at least 1 year you should do INICET & NEET definitely 3 years minimum otherwise go as deep as possible so these two are your must do whatever are the topics that you have found weaker in surgery orthopedics whatever is the subject combination. 

I would advise you to find those topics and use BTR and PYQs as surveillance tools so that is how you ensure that I have covered important topics and weak topics this is your road map BTR and PYQs are your road map use them as surveillance and clear those topics you know see YouTube videos see main videos whatever clear them out solution solution of the PYQ so basically you have to clear all of your doubts now it is do or die so this is where you get closure of your weak and important topics and the good part about you getting computer access is you can do all of the BTR tests you know from 1.0 to 5.0.

I will highly recommend doing all of those in the new test that I am going to give you I am not going to repeat questions even if I repeat I am going to change those right so I might repeat the topic but I am not going to repeat exact questions so each of these tests is 100 MCQs the current 5.0 is 200 MCQs so practice them as tests on the actual you know computer based simulation so you are already getting access to that in the complete package.

I would highly recommend you give those 5 tests of those respective subjects this is the custom module daily that you shall be getting so this is the checklist that you want to do before every you-know subject test this way you keep getting a closure of every subject and then you can see we have 3 full-length GTs before INICET on 25th April, 7th May and 12th May and then we will have the 4 day GT program after INI CET and we also have another last GT to finish it off on 8th June and then you have NEET.

so the good news for this batch of students is they have two exams right and everybody must write both of the exams and they are way together they will be very close to each other yes hopefully so hopefully both of the exams will be one month apart and no matter what rank you get you know you have to write the other exam because you might do better right so this is what is good for you guys that you have a complete plan already in place so this is just to show you some pictures these are our computer-based area this is where you shall be sitting you will be studying this is where your test is gonna your tests are gonna happen apart from that our auditorium on the first floor is called sabr which is the classroom where we shall be discussing we shall be learning and we have two testing areas now so one is the OG original testing area on the first floor and this is the new one Sukoon is what we are calling it and that is on the basement level. 

So that is coming up and we also have a brand new cafeteria whose name I think sir should say yes not just Chole Bhature is the name that we have thought of but still you know these things require approval of the entire team but that is under consideration but what is more important is that you know one line which gives direction and the direction that we all are working towards is to make this as an experience centre Ravi says ki every medical in the country would visit us for different stages initially for preparation what Zainab is doing finally to learn in e-conceptual from her from conceptual radiology or any other branch and finally to contribute as a teacher.

So this is a place where he dreams that the doctor’s preparation is very quiet and it’s if the environment is not so positive every small detail is here to take care that when you walk in you have an immediate feeling of positivity and when you go back you immediately want to come back so there’s a line from the song Hotel California you can check out from here anytime but you can never leave so this is what we are trying to do here and to ace it on you know everything is okay but when it comes to entrance exams the main thing is academics. 

We have the best teacher in the country right now who is going to take care of the needs of the students you know there are many many people who can teach a particular subject better than anyone but it is the intention of a teacher which means studying the subject and the care of the student which defines as who is the best who is thinking about you more than you and giving time to you apart from that obviously she is a wonderful teacher rank one AIIMS she has crossed the bridge she knows that what requires to be left for the exam , a good teacher is not who teaches you everything infact he knows what have not read and where to stop and that is what she is saying that surgery ortho MCQs will be there do that and here is the line after that you it wont be problematic, not get worried about ortho and this is what she will see and you will realize that when she walks in she will be working every day she will be traveling for four BTRs across the country during this time and she will make sure that you have questions every day and when she is not there. 

I will make sure that Ravi or I will be here to talk to the student and discuss along with that we have a wonderful team who is there to take care of you so you know ideally I would want you to come in at 7 a.m. when the centre opens in boot camp you know we have a line waiting as soon as it’s 7 before that there are students are waiting I would want that you know for the rest of the month in the exam for you to show the same consistency so you come in at 9 a.m. and you are studying you appear for your custom module you stay here and study till 9 o’clock and then you leave right. 

So this is you already have a road map of what you have to do you have a place where you can do we will be arranging all your needs for you Ravi is also trying for dinner so far we’ve already managed in the second boot camp to arrange breakfast and lunch for students and you have coffee which you know you get at any time between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. we’re also trying for dinner so your meals are taken care of I would advise you to come down here and just scout for accommodation after visiting rather than arranging it online that way you will have a better idea of what the living conditions are and there are many PGs and hostels which are nearby so would highly recommend you to come down here and just visit there are many boot camp students you know are going to continue to stay here so you can ask other students for advice as well as to what are you know good accommodation options but there is no dearth of options here you can come and just select. 

So that is what is the plan and we shall also be having an orientation for the complete package on on 16th of February whereas those of you who are enrolling for the only test & discussion program so we also planned a only time program which is for people who might be staying in Delhi who don’t want to use this facility as a study center want to study at home only want to come for the test you can do so right so you can directly come on 21st for the first test right but for the complete package students we’ll just be orienting you to the place and how you should use you know this facility on 16th of February as orientation and you can then you can continue to come from 17th itself it does not start from 24th you can start from 16th itself so that’s all about the place and all the very best and looking forward to meet you on 16th of February thank you and specifically best wishes to Dr. Zainab because she has done a combination of four courses in one there’s a T&Ds there is a btr there are going to be mock test and they’re going to be an experience with the computers with daily customs so this is what she’s combined together and only you could have thought of it means a lot of hard work at your end and also it is going to keep you stimulated to study with an actual simulation for your exam so looking forward to welcome you at the deadline thank you very much thank you.
